Practicing Success
Who said that there is one popular misconception- "There is almost an obsession that by adding all kinds of powers to the Centre we can make it strong”? |
K. Santhanam Sir A. Ramaswamy Mudaliar R.V. Dhulekar Shri Shankarrao Deo |
K. Santhanam |
The correct answer is Option 1 - K. Santhanam The rights of the states were most eloquently defended by K. Santhanam from Madras. A reallocation of powers was necessary, he felt, to strengthen not only the states but also the Centre. “There is almost an obsession that by adding all kinds of powers to the Centre we can make it strong.” This was a misconception, said Santhanam. If the Centre was overburdened with responsibilities, it could not function effectively. By relieving it of some of its functions, and transferring them to the states, the Centre could, in fact, be made stronger. |
